FFWD Stuffed Pumpkin

Just out of the oven

This post is going to be quick. It's been a crazy week and I'm already late for French Fridays with Dorie. I LOVE this recipe. I found it online a couple of years ago (probably right when the book came out), read through it, thought it sounded amazing, was very scared by the amount of heavy cream (not to mention bread and cheese!), but quickly got over the fear and made the recipe :-). I've made it at least once since then - loved it both times - so I was very excited when I saw it chosen for the recipe of the week. I don't think Paul loves it quite as much as I do (although he does seem to like it) so I was thrilled to have an excuse to make it again.

Lidded pumpkin

I used turkey bacon (I don't eat read meat) but otherwise followed the recipe pretty exactly. I had some extra filling so I baked it in a ramekin on the side - I just couldn't bear to let it go to waste! I served it in slices which I thought looked great visually, although next time I might stir it up as Dorie suggests, I'd like to see how it tastes that way.

About Me

I’m a self-taught home cook. What I know I’ve learned from watching my mother and a lot of Food Network shows, and by reading way too many cookbooks and cooking blogs. I have never owned a camera (still don’t really!), so this will be my first attempt at taking pictures.
